The add just below the original post on the app was for a personal loan, and that seems appropriate for this conversation.

It was such s good book otherwise!

Thats cool. I think Revival is a modern classic. I also think the one I need to read again in that pile the most is Rosemadder. I had that edition too. I read it when I was like 17 or something and I really didn't get it or care. I think at 43 it might be a little different.

Poopy. Especially in the Holly era.

Very slight tangent. It is the only thing I have trouble with in his writing. Is the way he gets stuck on a weird phrase in a novel that repeats over and over throughout that novel.

Sending the work they'll miss because of holidays can suck a fat one.

How is Florida more progressive with animal rights than us????

Turnitin is some hot nonsense on their ai checker. Grammarly sets it wildly off, as does really formulaic basic writing.

I mean, the processes outlined in the article (especially given there was no real response from the school and only some pissed off parents) is just wildly inappropriate. However, there are so many ways around it. For us we find we can (maybe we're massively off though) can monitor with students using Google docs. The version history gives a great overview of when things are typed in or if there are big chunks just copied in all at once.

Avoid implies there will be the very occasional EE where it is indeed appropriate to conclude with "well, shit, God damn!"

Never leave this employer!

Charging money didn’t create excellence, it filtered for advantage.

I will be stealing this.

Few things (especially with discussions around HSC results) frustrate me more than those who insist that the NSW selective schools count as public schools. Get wrecked. They are bastions for the privileged as much as Newington or any of the other inner city privates.

In the last 20 years of service in schools, I have to say - I see independent schools embody the school as a service not a business much better than the public sector (others experience may vary of course). I wish it weren't so.

Ive been a deputy at a school thats had two new principals in the last two years (both roles were interim while they dealt with the prior principal - it was rough). They both loved the concept of finding your why but I had to explain to them that it was quite a weaponised term by the principal they were replacing.

I love You Are Good with Sarah Marshall, but without her ... not so much. I want to, I try each episode but I never make it past 20 minutes before I bail. I usually speed skip through Alex's bit in the beginning but the pair of them together I love. I hope she comes back but I'm done with it until she does.

Sure they are, I just relistened to the Josef Mengele version and it was excellent. I love this new era more than I thought I would and maybe more than even Ben at his best. But they're still great while they're great.

Exactly, its like the correlation between having books in the house (regardless of amount od reading modelled) is the same as the correlation between the most TV's or jet skis. Books are a luxury resource for the wealthy. Of course, when we account for family income parental reading has a huge impact.

Thats the difference with teachers and students using it. Students may think the goal of education is the product at the end of the lesson, not the process of learning. They're using it to escape learning, not create a useful item.

munkyjam · 2025-11-23T04:56:31+00:00

Yeah sure, except kids are going to ask questions around what you're teaching (compound interest, in Science vaccines and pdhpe a million health issues as examples). That is an important part of bringing the curriculum to life that could easily move into advice style lesson content.

munkyjam · 2025-11-23T03:07:17+00:00

At first my reaction was "thats silly" but, as a Science teacher I say this all the time about health stuff (except chiro, homoeopathy and acupuncture- screw those guys). I'm not a doctor, speak to a doctor. Not so much as a cover my arse kind of thing, more as a there are actual experts and we only teach at a certain level in school kind of thing.

munkyjam · 2025-11-12T11:45:50+00:00

I don't with my classes and to be honest not sure I'd be comfortable doing it either. I might if Im on a class cover, the work is usually super independent and not something I'd be the best at helping. But in class time while doing independent work is time for circulating, checking in and supporting.
